Make your brain work better

Updated on February 22, 2011

Becoming a genius is not an overnight task, some are born
that way but even the best minds have acquired the skills they possess from
sharpening their minds to function smart. It is essential to practice and
ensure that you get ample opportunities to practice being a stronger and more
efficient person.

The human brain is a complex system with ever so many
functions, details and minutiae that govern its many aspects and functioning.
It is important to keep it working at all times on a number of activities and
events.

Work on scrabble, word puzzles, Sudoku and other games in
your daily newspaper or online in your free time. It will keep your mind sharp,
keyed with new terms and words and you will definitely be growing smarter and
faster at doing things. This will engage you, challenge you and at the same
time be a fun activity for you.

Memorize phone numbers, bank details and other information for
quick recall. This is a great way to keep yourself more friendly in terms of working
with and using numbers.

Use your non dominant foot, hand and body parts to do tasks
you normally do with your dominant side. Exercising both hemispheres of the
brain are a great way to stay on your toes and have a healthy and active mind.

Music has been implicated in many research studies as having
an impact on intelligence, particularly classical. Develop an interest in some
Beethoven or just listen to it while you take a power nap, it may just speed
those grey cells up some.

Correct postural errors. You might be stooping or not
standing tall when walking or interacting leading to your functioning being
less than required. Make sure that you do have the right posture in place and
this in itself will increase your receptivity to new content and new situations.

Eat the right kind of food. Cut down the fat, add on the
protein and mineral content. It’s an absolute must to get rid of the sloppy,
slow reactions in you.

Write something every day. Writing is something that
exercises the mind as well and making it a point to spend some time writing a
little something will stir your imagination as well as make you more of a
creative, analytical individual.

Ask questions, encourage yourself to ask yourself, ask your
friends or just Google it up or ask around at yahoo answers or use online ask
services such as those with educational learning companies or online tutors.
Find answers, ask questions that will make you think about things from
different perspectives.
